The interior of Asian restaurant Chang-i is a dark and mysterious blend of European chic and Oriental enchantment. The kitchen is based on authentic Chinese food wrapped in a modern style jacket: Innovative Chinese Cuisine, as they call it themselves. The food is delicious, well presented and sometimes indeed innovative. The service is professional, but we would like them to be a bit more personable.

In 2011 restaurant Chang-i was voted best Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam - and second on the Dutch National list.

Restaurant Classico has been a hit from the start. A relaxed atmosphere, good service and good, honest Italian food makes this restaurant very popular with the locals and guests who want to visit Het Concertgebouw (The Concert Hall) afterwards. The service is truly friendly and helpful. The food is as Italian food should be: basic but delicious, with pleasant prices.

Though the food is 'classico', the interior is far from classic. A sober and modern interior creates a nice atmosphere that reflects the mentality of restaurant Classico.
